The criteria of the International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS) can be used for assessing the quality of patient decision aids.
Below are several different ways the IPDAS criteria are used and approved translated versions.
For translation to other languages, please refer to the
IPDAS Translation Approval Process.

Apply the IPDAS criteria to a patient decision aid.
The 3 different IPDAS versions are:

This version (v.4.0) groups criteria into qualifying, certifying, and quality.
The qualifying criteria are helpful for determining if a resource is a patient decision aid.
Version 4.0 was used to inform the certification/approval programs established in different countries.

IPDAS criteria are used by the Ottawa Patient Decision Aids Group in the Decision Aid Library Inventory (DALI)

Developers can register their patient decision aids in
DALI and
as part of the process they are prompted to use the IPDAS criteria.
If the decision aid is publicly available, it is included in the
A to Z Inventory
showing the IPDAS results.
Before being included in the A to Z Inventory, there is an administrative review and
approval that takes 2 to 4 weeks.
